Finally, as a nitpick, this doesn't look like JC Staff production. As part of the reason I'm a big fan of them, I actually prefer their 'retro' look like the ones they did in Bakuman and Little Busters. >_>

I think for a show like this where tons of people are on the fence or simple overlooking it, the retro look wouldn't have helped sell it

Plus it's Dengeki and co. that's funding them, so it has to look like Shana/Index/Toradora at it's best

I remember reading the first chapter of the manga, and colour me confused when Aoyama showed up. Who the heck is this girl? Seems pretty important considering you know, she's part of the reason why Hikari got picked up, but got omitted in that version.

Yeah I'm not sure which is closer to the novels (any novel readers out there?) but they're doing things differently that's for sure.

Excellent first impression. The Sakurasou residents are all complete loonies ans Sorata is already in deep denial over having seen a girl naked, or finding her in a pile of her own underwear, for that matter. And Mashiro is smoking hot.

I knew Misaki was going to be my favorite character from her profile alone, and having seen the actual show... she is. Though the rest of the cast is a lot of fun to watch, too. If at least a median level of comedy like we have now can be maintained, I think this is going to be a fun ride.

Sorata's everyday life dealing with weird roommates and supervisor was interesting and amusing to watch. The best part of the episode for me, is when Sorata had to dress and neaten Mashiro, I couldn't stop laughing. I'm totally following this show, this is going to be awesome! Plus the protagonist is a cat lover which is a bonus for me, and all the other characters are really fun and likeable.

The visuals and coloring for the cherry blossom tree when he meets Mashiro for the time was truly pretty to look at.

Though the vibrant colors do remind me of madhouse productions (like chihayafuru for example) and the director has been working at Madhouse her whole career so I wonder if there's a link there.

Excellent observation. In fact, they outsourced the photography/composite work to Madbox, which is the company that usually handles post-production for Madhouse (where they spun off from; today, they're owned by NTV as well).

That would explain similarities in filtering techniques.

Nice catch!Helps make things feel more concrete.

I'll continue the madhouse connection with Rintaro (one of the cofounders of Madhouse) storyboarding the ED.

The emotion-less trying to be moe chick just is so meh for me. Its like been there, done that. What stands out for me is the rest of the characters, and really brings out the potential for this series. The MC isn't bad himself....

Holy crap, that must have been the most annoying genki girl ever, or whatever the hell she was, it started well with a nice ass shot, but honestly she should have stayed sleeping. Just went downhill when she started to open her mouth.

Wasn't really too big of a fan of the first episode, introduction was generic and Mashiro looks really pretty, but a bit too airheaded for my liking. Could be cute if we go down a certain route of development, I can hope. I like silent moe, but hopefully it's not the overly robotic kind.

It also looks really good; better than JC's other show. Also, multiple instances of dat ass which did not block me with censor beams of doom, so that's fine too. I might keep watching this.

At first I thought it was just me and thought there were way too many innuendos and "perv" scenes and I thought I was just over thinking them... but then I remembered who the series composer for this series was. . Granted I did chuckle at a couple of them... like the "leaving it on my old man's testicle" line or the "you're only allowed to be turned on by vegetables till you're out of middle school". Ah well... creative perv is better than caveman perv I suppose...

But yeh, I'm laughing my ass off now because this show looks better than Little Busters.
